Coppiced Woodland, Blean Wood

West Blean (including Thornden Wood) is a SSSI and forms an important part of a wider conservation jigsaw, linking the Blean Woods National Nature Reserve in the west with East Blean Wood in the east, and thereby establishing a continuous nature conservation complex, owned and managed by a partnership of local and national bodies. (KWT)
40% of the reserve is densely planted conifer plantation and 40% is sweet chestnut coppice plantation. The remaining 20% is mixed native deciduous woodland.
Part of the woods is the Blean Wood National Nature Reserve. Link
